Just remember, this is your dog, and what size, sex, and type dog you choose is all up to you. You will live with this dog for 10 to 15 years so do not let someone else tell you what you should have.
Perhaps, when you read about the different breeds, you may be disappointed that not one is called a pet. I don't want a hunting dog, you say to yourself. I do not need a sheep herder, a dog that fights badgers, or a dog that will attack intruders. I just want a pet, a friendly dog to be my companion, and to walk with me. Do not worry. Is does not matter, any dog you select will be a pet if you bring him up to be a pet. His past is so far behind him that he will forget about it.
The thing to remember here is that you find a puppy that will meet your needs. Decide what you want from the dog, what size you want, what he should look like, and what personality you expect. If the puppy is healthy and meets what you want in a dog then you will have many years of enjoyment.
One last thing, after you buy a puppy you must train your puppy! Just remember that no puppy comes with a guarantee or a special ready-made personality. How your dog behaves is strictly up to you. All breeds of dogs must be taught dog obedience, Every dog can be taught to sit, heel, come, stay, lie down, and how to be social. This is your responsibility. You and your puppy will be much happier. Be sure to visit my webpage to get more puppy tips and training guides...
